various performances related to the text score book “Contents”
2022 / 2024
Contents: lecture-performance (first version) / 15.06.2022
On the occasion of the first public presentation of the book "Contents" in prototype form, a trial version of the lecture-performance around the collection was presented. It involved some realizations of scores from the collection as short videos. These videos were presented according to a strict sequence during the lecture. This sequence was proportionally correlated to the position of each realized score in the book. The discursive part of the performance involved explaining the process and proposing an interpretation of its more general significance. The end result was a relatively standard artist presentation interspersed at seemingly arbitrary moments with video pieces. As the presentation unfolded, the videos and their order of appearance seemed decreasingly arbitrary.
Around the exhibition “Contents” in Basel in March 2024, several performances were organized
Frantz Loriot interprets “textual-graphic scores” / 21.03.2024
scores 37, 48, 56, 65, 77, 86, 107, 126 and 130
The performance comprised the first and the last one in the collection and proposes a sort timeline of their evolution. Some of them were performed for the first time while others already were presented as video performances on a screen in the exhibition. The already played scores are given a new interpretation, differing from the ones recorded. In order to preserve the “textuality” of these scores, they have been adapted to become surtitles during the performance.

Contents: lecture-performance / 21.03.2024
This lecture-performance aimed to propose a survey of the collection exactly 1400 days after its writing started. It implied looking back at the conditions of creation of the piece and building step by step a actualized interpretation on the collection. While mostly a lecture, it is also a performance as it is also realisation of at least three scores in the collection (133/162/207). It also contains materials that were prepared for the exhibition but eventually not included in its final form.

Contents: public reading / 24.03.2024
To close the exhibition, a selection of verbal scores was read in public.
